From Mrs Mica Hollands

My Grandad Stan was my biggest fan; he never missed an opportunity to celebrate my successes or just big me up for no reason whatsoever. We were best friends, and I did everything I could to make sure that his last few years on earth were as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. My Grandad loved Christmas and the whole family being together, and we make sure to honour his memory, especially at this time of year. I love and miss you, Gramps! Mica xxxxx

My Grandma Peggy was such a kind and caring woman, with so much grace and poise. My Grandma was such a strong woman and never let anything get her down, not in her 91 & 1/2 years on this earth. I have so many fond memories of spending countless childhood Christmases with my grandma, filled with so much love and happiness. All my love, Mica xxxxx

Grandad Booth was an inspiration to the entire family. An old-fashioned man with good morales, and often the only person who could tolerate my tantrums. He'd always hand me down the sports pull-outs from the newspapers and let me stay up late to watch the football highlights. He supported me always and I fondly remember him cheering me on from the sidelines, come rain or shine. We love you, and miss you Grandad. Lots of love, Tom & Family.

Sarah Crowther

From Miss Bethany Hughes

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Josephine Penford & Tony Baker

From Mr Jack Penford

Josephine and Tony are greatly missed by all the family and never forgotten. With love from Jack and Mary and all the family.

Bill Fielder

From Miss Alicia Dovey

Bills favorite place was Disney world and we used to go on an ride with ET and at the end ET would say goodbye to you including your name. Bill made up a different name each time so ET would say "good bye Bob" and it would make me laugh so much!
